A doctor attacked paramedics after being given a second chance at her career following a catalogue of alcohol fuelled meltdowns.
Dr Roisin Hamilton faces being struck from the medical register just three years after she promised at disciplinary tribunal she'd learned her lesson following assaults on Glasgow Airport staff, her partner and police.
She was back in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court after the incident involving Scottish Ambulance Service staff, and is now facing yet another hearing in front of the Medical Tribunal Practitioners' Service (MPTS).

The mum-of-two is currently suspended from practice and will go before the watchdog next month, where they will hear evidence before deciding her fate.
Hamilton, had not practised since 2015 when she was given permission by the MPTS to resume her career in 2019, after she explained her behaviour was a result of an addiction to alcohol due to depression and anxiety.
She had previously admitted throwing hot coffee at a Glasgow Airport worker who offered her assistance when she stumbled in the duty free area as she waited for a flight. The former NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde medic continued to shout and swear in front of other passengers and was later arrested.
Just five months later in August 2016 she kicked off at her family home in East Dumbartonshire and police were called. She later pled guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and was sentenced at Dumbarton Sheriff Court the following January and ordered to carry out 200 hours of community service.
Pleading for a opportunity to resume her medical career in 2019, the former haemotology expert said: "I am realistic that any future return to work would not be a simple process.
"I know that other medical professionals, patients and the public would have serious reservations about me working again as a doctor. Not only because of my prolonged absence and loss of skills but also because of my history of criminal convictions and suspension from the medical register.
"Understandably there would be grave concerns about my fitness to practice and the safety of patients in my care. I know that if I am given the opportunity to practise medicine again, I will need to build trust with my future colleagues, patients and the public at large. This will be a long process and will involve me being open and transparent about my past."
However, she was suspended again when details of the incident involving the paramedics in July 2020 came to light and she was fined at Glasgow Sheriff Court, along with and another in Northern Ireland in October 2021 where she was convicted of drink driving and resisting arrest.
The hearing is schedule to take place on October 3 at the MPTS headquarters in Manchester.
